Lloyd-Richardson, Elizabeth. "The relationship between alcohol use, eating habits and weight change in college freshmen." Eating Behaviors 9.4 (2008): 504-8. Ohio Link. Web. 8 Nov. 2010.\n\nA group of reasearchers preformed a study that aimed to improve understanding of how alcohol consumption in college freshmen affects eating patterns before, during, and after drinking, as well as its relation to body weight change. They used \ntwo hundred eighty-two college freshmen (61% female; 59% Caucasian) completed measures of alcohol use, measured body mass index (BMI), and eating and activity habits before, during and following drinking episodes. Students were categorized by drinking status (non-drinker, low-risk, and moderate/high-risk) in order to explore group differences. There results were that moderate risk drinkers were more likely than low-risk drinkers to report increases in appetite after drinking, with nearly half of students reporting overeating and making unhealthy food choices following drinking. Moderate-risk drinkers also demonstrated significant increases in 1st semester BMI change, relative to non-drinkers and low-risk drinkers.\n\n\n\n

Bartlett, Carol. "Seeing: Gender and Literacy." Text Quarterly 7.1 (1994): 1,4. ERIC. EBSCO. Web. 19 Nov. 2010. This too is an article that relates gender roles to literacy. It talks about the different learning behaviors relating to male and females. It states that men enroll in school in order to achieve something, while women enrol for the sake of desire for learning. Men are said to pick up at task and master it until picking up a new one while women work with more than one task at the same time. Men and women have different learning, writing, and reading techniques from one another.\n\n
